Jose Abreu

Alright, Duke did his job, now get Jones for Valencia please

Good decision by Frazier

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:39 PM) Maybe we need a bullpen pitching coach. Coop is awesome with starters. Our pen has reeked for a few years now IMO at least. We had one of the best bullpens in baseball last year and are projected to have a better one this year

QUOTE (RaySox @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) And just when you thought Robin came to his senses... Duke. lefty/lefty matchup

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) That was Scott Downs-like Belisario-esque

I guess, to be fair, he did get squeezed on one pitch

Great outing Jake.

So I guess no Nate Jones tonight, unless Petricka isn't pitching the whole inning

Sale's line: 7 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 104 NP Not bad. Just one bad inning.

Petricka in.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) I didn't notice Oakland spent $23 million for Ryan Madson over 3 years. The only problem is that he's 35. Wow, they should meet Gar Forman and John Paxson. (referring to Mike Dunleavy)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:29 PM) Wow Burns really f***ed up there. Why would you stop a quarter of the way there? He would've been toast at 2nd

Jones 8th, Robertson 9th? Knowing Ventura, Sale comes out for the 8th at less than 105 though?

BEAUTIFUL

Jed Lowrie, aka new Chris Sale killer up

Watch that replay again in slow-mo to appreciate how tough that hop was. Great play.

Abreu has been very good defensively tonight.

Petricka/Duke warming. Would like to see Jones in the 8th and, if we lead, Robertson obviously in the 9th

Great, feisty AB. Staying alive. Hope it pays off

One of my favorite Abreu memories is his clutch HR in Oakland in early 2014

Jersey sleeve is annoying Frazier

Last year, they'd walk Abreu to face LaRoche. Now, they pitch to him with Frazier on deck.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 4, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) Is Rollins really a Hall of Famer? I feel like that's highly debatable. Yeah, I don't think he is.

Strike out if you have to, just no double plays. Abreu would love an AB with RISP

At least he's not diving headfirst into first anymore!
